If we receive substantially similar questions, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 22, 2023, the Record Date, or those with a valid proxy from a broker, bank or other nominee that held our shares on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 55,561,747 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If, on March 22, 2023, your shares were registered directly in your name with Inari’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy over the telephone or on the internet as instructed below (see “How do I vote?”) or, if applicable, complete, date, sign and return the proxy card mailed to you to ensure your vote is counted. You must register in advance at www.proxydocs.com/NARI if you wish to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee, and Plan Shares

If, on March 22, 2023, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the organization that holds your shares has sent you the Notice (or, depending on your election, you may have received a printed copy of this proxy statement and our 2022 Annual Report by mail or an electronic copy of those proxy materials by email). The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account. The deadline for submitting

2

your voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee is listed on the Notice or other proxy materials sent to you. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. If you want to attend the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance at www.proxydocs.com/NARI. If you want to vote virtually at the Annual Meeting, as part of the registration you will be instructed to obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and to submit a copy in advance of the meeting. Further instructions will be provided to you as part of your registration process.

What am I voting on?

There are three matters scheduled for a vote:

What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the proxy you submit will authorize the persons named therein to vote the shares for which you grant your proxy on those matters in accordance with their discretion.

What is the Board’s voting recommendation?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares:

How do I vote?

With regard to the election of directors, you may either vote “For” the nominees or you may “Withhold” your vote for any one or more of the nominees you specify. For any other matters to be voted on, you may vote “For” or “Against” or “Abstain” from voting.

The procedures for voting depend on whether your shares are registered in your name or are held by a bank, broker or other nominee:

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, there are several ways to direct how your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote even if you have already voted by

3

proxy. Voting at the Annual Meeting will have the effect of revoking your previously submitted proxy (see “Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?” below).

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Nominee

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee (that is, in street name), you will receive a Notice or voting instruction form (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials) from your broker, bank or nominee that includes instructions that you must follow in order to submit your voting instructions and have your shares voted at the Annual Meeting. If you want to vote in person virtually at the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance at www.proxydocs.com/NARI prior to the registration deadline of May 17, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. You will be instructed to obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and to submit a copy in advance of the meeting. Further instructions will be provided to you as part of your registration process.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you owned as of March 22, 2023, the Record Date.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card, without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board, “FOR” the election of all three nominees for Class III director, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and “FOR” the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted as described above under “—What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting”.

Will my vote be kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations are handled on a confidential basis to protect your voting privacy. This information will not be disclosed, except as required by law.

4

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

Your most current proxy card or telephone or internet proxy is the one that is counted, so long as it is provided within the applicable deadline. If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count (i) votes “For,” votes to “Withhold” and broker non-votes for the proposal to elect directors, and (ii) votes “For,” votes “Against,” votes to “Abstain” and broker non-votes (if applicable) for Proposals 2 and 3.

What are “broker non-votes”?

If your shares are held in “street name” through a brokerage account, the broker that holds your shares is generally authorized to vote your shares in accordance with voting instructions received from you. If the broker does not receive your voting instructions, the broker may exercise discretionary authority to vote the shares with respect to certain matters that are considered to be “routine” under applicable stock exchange rules but cannot vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” matters. Only Proposal No. 2 (ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm) is considered a “routine” matter for this purpose. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on Proposal No. 1 (the election of directors) or Proposal No. 3 (approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers), without voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If you do not submit voting instructions and your broker exercises discretion to vote your shares on Proposal No. 2, your shares will constitute “broker non-votes” on Proposal No. 1 and Proposal No. 3. Broker non-votes on Proposal No. 1 and Proposal No. 3 will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, but will not be counted in determining the outcome of those matters.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

5

Voting Standard

A “Plurality,” with regard to the election of directors, means that the three nominees who receive the most “For” votes cast by the holders of shares either present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy will be elected to our Board. The approval by the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively (excluding abstentions and broker non votes), or “Majority Cast,” is required to approve Proposal No. 2 (ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm) and Proposal No. 3 (approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers).

Accordingly:

Please be aware that Proposal 2 and Proposal 3 are advisory only and will not be binding. The Board (including the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, as applicable) will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding those matters.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid stockholder meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 55,561,747 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of at least 27,780,874 shares must be present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy by mail, over the phone or through the internet, or a valid proxy is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee, or if you vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, votes to “Withhold” and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, then either the chair of the Annual Meeting or the holders of a majority of shares present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to another date. At any adjourned Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the Annual Meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after that adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned Annual Meeting, a notice of the adjourned Annual Meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned Annual Meeting.

6

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board for use at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, the Company will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees of the Company will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other nominees for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

How can I access the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

A complete list of stockholders of record on the Record Date will be available by request to IR@inarimedical.com for examination at our corporate offices by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting for a period of 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting. To access the list during the Annual Meeting, please follow instructions you receive via email after your successful registration.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form?

If you receive more than one Notice or proxy card, your shares may be registered in more than one name or held in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

When are stockholder proposals for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for next year’s annual meeting due?

Stockholders wishing to present proposals for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must submit their proposals so that they are received by us at our principal executive offices no later than December 8, 2023. Proposals should be sent to our Secretary at 6001 Oak Canyon, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618.

When are other proposals and stockholder nominations for next year’s annual meeting due?

With respect to proposals and nominations not to be included in our Proxy Statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, our Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “Bylaws”) provide that stockholders who wish to nominate a director or propose other business to be brought before the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders must notify our Secretary by a written notice, which notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Stockholders wishing to present nominations for director or proposals for consideration at the 2024 Annual Meeting under these provisions of our Bylaws must submit their nominations or proposals so that they are received at our principal executive offices not earlier than January 19, 2024 and not later than February 18, 2024 in order to be considered. In the event that the 2024 Annual Meeting is to be held on a date that is more than 30 days before or 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting, then a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary no earlier than 90 days prior to such annual meeting and no later than the tenth day following the day on which we make a public announcement of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting.

7

In addition, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees at the 2024 Annual Meeting must deliver written notice to the Company that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 19, 2024. However, if the date of the 2024 annual meeting is a date before April 18, 2024, or after June 17, 2024, written notice must be received by the later of 60 days prior to the date of the 2024 annual meeting or the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2024 annual meeting of stockholder is first made. The notice requirement under Rule 14a-19 is in addition to the applicable notice requirements under our Bylaws as described above.

Nominations or proposals should be sent in writing to our Secretary at 6001 Oak Canyon, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618. A stockholder’s notice to nominate a director or bring any other business before the Annual Meeting or the 2024 Annual Meeting must set forth certain information, which is specified in our Bylaws.

We intend to file a Proxy Statement and WHITE proxy card with the SEC in connection with solicitation of proxies for our 2024 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting. Stockholders may obtain our Proxy Statement (and any amendments and supplements thereto) and other documents as and when filed by us with the SEC without charge from the SEC’s website at: www.sec.gov.

Our Board of Directors is presently composed of ten members, who are divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. One class of directors is elected by the stockholders at each annual meeting, with each director to serve from the time of their respective election until the third annual meeting of stockholders following their respective election and until their respective successor is duly elected and qualified. Class I directors consist of Donald Milder, Rebecca Chambers, William Hoffman and Andrew Hykes; Class II directors consist of Dana G. Mead, Jr., Kirk Nielsen and Catherine Szyman; and Class III directors consist of Cynthia Lucchese, Jonathan Root, M.D., and Robert Warner. Mr. Hykes was appointed to our Board effective January 1, 2023 when he became our Chief Executive Officer.

The nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board has recommended, and the Board has approved, the nomination of each of our Class III directors, Ms. Lucchese, Mr. Warner, and Dr. Root, for re-election for a three-year term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal. Each of Ms. Lucchese, Mr. Warner, and Dr. Root is currently a director of the Company.

Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement. If any nominee should become unable or unwilling for good cause to serve, the named proxies will have discretion to vote properly submitted proxies for a substitute nominee designated by our nominating and corporate governance committee and approved by the Board, or our Board may choose to reduce its size. We have no reason to believe that any nominee named will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected.

Nominees for Director and Continuing Directors

The names and ages of the nominees and continuing directors, and their length of service with the Company and Board committee memberships are set forth in the table below.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE THREE NAMED CLASS III DIRECTOR NOMINEES

15

This section describes key corporate governance guidelines and practices that we have adopted. Complete copies of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the charters of the committees of the Board and our Code of Ethics and Conduct, described below, can be found in the Governance section of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.inarimedical.com. Alternatively, you can request a copy of any of these documents free of charge by writing to: Angela Ahmad, General Counsel & Secretary, c/o Inari Medical, Inc., 6001 Oak Canyon, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618. Information on or accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

BOARD COMPOSITION

Our Board currently consists of ten members. In accordance with our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, our directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. Our current directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective terms. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of their successor, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board has affirmatively determined that each of Mses. Chambers, Lucchese and Szyman, Dr. Root, and Messrs. Mead, Milder, Nielson, and Warner are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and relevant securities and other laws, rules and regulations regarding the definition of “independent” (the “Independent Directors”). Messrs. Hoffman and Hykes are not independent directors as a result of their former and current position as our Chief Executive Officer, respectively. In making these independence determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and any transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”. There are no family relationships between any director and any of our executive officers.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Board believes that it is important to retain the flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in any manner that it determines to be in the best interests of the Company at any point in time.

The Board reviews its leadership structure periodically as part of its annual self-assessment process. In addition, the Board continues to monitor developments in corporate governance as well as the approaches our peers undertake. The Board believes that the current Board leadership structure, with Mr. Milder serving as our

16

Chair and Mr. Hykes serving as our Chief Executive Officer, provides effective independent oversight of management. Our Independent Directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside of our Company, while Mr. Hykes brings Company-specific experience, expertise and leadership.

The Board does not have a lead Independent Director since our Chair is independent. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Independent Directors meet in executive session without non-Independent Directors or management present on a regularly scheduled basis, but no less than twice per year. The Board, including each of its committees, also has complete and open access to any member of the Company’s management and the authority to retain independent advisors as the Board or such committee deems appropriate. In addition, all members of the audit committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee are Independent Directors, and the committee chairs have authority to hold executive sessions without management and non-Independent Directors present.

BOARD DIVERSITY

We consider diversity, such as gender, race and ethnicity, in identifying director nominees and view such diversity characteristics as meaningful factors to consider, but do not have a formal diversity policy. The following table shows an overview of the current composition of our Board:

ROLE OF THE BOARD IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Our Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing the management of our risks. Our Board is responsible for general oversight of risks and regular review of information regarding our risks, including credit risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. The compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to accounting matters and financial reporting, as well as our policies with respect to enterprise risk management, including cybersecurity risk management. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our Board and potential conflicts of interest. The compensation committee considers our compensation policies and practices, applicable to all employees, with the input and assistance of management, to determine if their structure or implementation provides incentives to employees to take unnecessary or inappropriate risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

17

The compensation committee has determined that the implementation and structure of the compensation policies and practices do not encourage unnecessary and inappropriate risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through discussions from committee members about such risks.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Board held nine meetings. Each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate meetings of the Board and of the committees on which they served during the period for which they were a director or committee member. The Company’s directors are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not currently have a policy relating to director attendance. All of our directors serving on our Board in May 2022 attended our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Our non-employee directors meet from time to time and at least annually in executive session.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board has three standing committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee. Below is a description of each committee of the Board. Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process and assists our Board in its oversight of (i) our accounting and financial reporting processes, (ii) the integrity of our financial statements, (iii) our risk assessment and risk management program, (iv) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditor and (v) the design and implementation of our internal audit function and internal controls. Our audit committee operates under a written charter and is responsible for, among other things:

18

Our audit committee currently consists of Mses. Chambers, Lucchese and Szyman and Mr. Warner, with Ms. Lucchese serving as chair. Our Board has affirmatively determined that Ms. Chambers, Ms. Lucchese, Ms. Szyman, and Mr. Warner meet the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. In addition, our Board has determined that Ms. Lucchese and Ms. Chambers are each an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Each member of our audit committee is financially literate.

The audit committee held seven meetings in 2022.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs relating to our directors and executive officers. Our compensation committee operates under a written charter and is responsible for, among other things:

Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Milder, Mead and Nielsen and Dr. Root, with Dr. Root serving as chair. The composition of our compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards. In making the determination regarding the independence of each member of the compensation committee, the Board considered whether the director has a relationship with the Company that is material to the director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member. Each member of the compensation committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Section 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures

The implementation of our compensation philosophy is carried out under the supervision of the compensation committee. The compensation committee charter requires that the compensation committee meet

19

as often as it determines is appropriate to carry out its responsibilities under the charter. The agenda for each meeting is usually developed by the chair of the compensation committee, in consultation with other compensation committee members, management and the compensation committee’s independent advisors. The compensation committee also meets regularly in executive session. Our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our General Counsel, and our Vice President, Human Resources, in addition to the compensation committee’s independent advisors, may attend portions of the compensation committee meetings for the purpose of providing analysis and information to assist management with their recommendations on various compensation matters. Management does not participate in the executive sessions of the compensation committee.

The compensation committee engaged Compensia as an independent advisor to the compensation committee through March 2022. Compensia conducted an analysis and provided advice on, among other things, the equity compensation granted to our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, director compensation and peer group selection and reported directly to the compensation committee. Compensia also collected and analyzed compensation information from a peer group of comparable public companies, which analysis was considered by the compensation committee when making its determinations regarding executive compensation in 2022, as detailed below in the section titled “Executive Compensation.”

In April 2022, the compensation committee engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) as an independent advisor to the compensation committee. FW Cook reports directly to the compensation committee, which retains sole authority to direct the work of and engage FW Cook. During 2022, FW Cook conducted an analysis and provided advice on, among other things, the equity compensation granted to our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and peer group selection. As part of its analysis, FW Cook collected and analyzed compensation information from a peer group of comparable public companies.

The compensation committee, taking into account the various factors prescribed by Nasdaq regarding the independence of compensation consultants, reviewed each of Compensia’s or FW Cook’s independence and does not believe that retaining either Compensia and FW Cook results in any conflict of interest.

The compensation committee held six meetings during 2022.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee assists our Board in overseeing corporate governance matters and in reviewing and recommending nominees for election as directors. Our nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter and is responsible for, among other things:

20

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Mr. Nielsen, Dr. Root and Ms. Lucchese, with Mr. Nielsen serving as chair. The composition of our nominating and corporate governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the current Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations.

The nominating and corporate governance committee held four meetings in 2022.

Procedures of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

In connection with nominating directors for re-election at the Annual Meeting and periodically throughout the year, the nominating and corporate governance committee considers the composition of the Board and each committee of the Board to evaluate its effectiveness and whether changes should be considered to either the Board or any of the committees. In support of this process, the Board has determined that the Board as a whole must have the right diversity, mix of characteristics and skills for the optimal functioning of the Board in its oversight of our Company. The Board considers the following factors and qualifications, without limitation:

Pursuant to the nominating and corporate governance committee charter, the nominating and corporate governance committee periodically reviews the composition of the Board in light of then current challenges and needs of the Board and the Company and determines whether it may be appropriate to add or remove individuals after considering issues of judgment, diversity, skills, background and experience. Although the nominating and corporate governance committee does not have a formal policy regarding diversity on the Board, the nominating and corporate governance committee is sensitive to the importance of nominating persons with different perspectives, backgrounds and experience to enhance the deliberation and decision-making processes of the Board. The nominating and corporate governance committee also considers applicable laws and regulations.

Once the nominating and corporate governance committee and the Board determine that it is appropriate to add a new director, either to fill a vacancy or as a new position, the nominating and corporate governance committee uses a flexible set of procedures in selecting individual director candidates. This flexibility allows the nominating and corporate governance committee to adjust the process to best satisfy the objectives it is attempting to accomplish in any director search. The first step in the general process is to identify the type of candidate the nominating and corporate governance committee may desire for a particular opening, including establishing the specific target skill areas, experiences and backgrounds that are to be the focus of a director search. The nominating and corporate governance committee may consider candidates recommended by management, by members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, by the Board, by stockholders or by a third party it may engage to conduct a search for possible candidates.

Once candidates are identified, the nominating and corporate governance committee conducts an evaluation of qualified candidates. The evaluation generally includes interviews and background and reference checks. There is no difference in the evaluation process of a candidate recommended by a stockholder as compared to the evaluation process of a candidate identified by any of the other means described above. In identifying and evaluating potential nominees to serve as directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee will examine each nominee on a case-by-case basis regardless of who recommended the nominee and take into account all factors it considers appropriate.

21

If the nominating and corporate governance committee determines that a candidate should be nominated as a candidate for election to the Board, the candidate’s nomination is then recommended to the Board, and the directors may in turn conduct their own review to the extent they deem appropriate. When the Board has agreed upon a candidate, such candidate is recommended to the stockholders for election at an annual meeting of stockholders or appointed as a director by a vote of the Board as appropriate.

During 2022, the nominating and corporate governance committee conducted a search and received recommendations for a potential candidate from the members of the Board and senior management. In March 2022, the Board elected Mr. Warner to the Board. Mr. Warner was initially introduced to the nominating and corporate governance committee by Mr. Milder, the Chairman of the Board.

All of the current Class III directors have been recommended by the nominating and corporate governance committee to the Board for reelection as our directors at the Annual Meeting, and the Board has approved such recommendations.

Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals to the nominating and corporate governance committee for consideration as potential director candidates may submit the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the nominating and corporate governance committee, c/o Secretary, 6001 Oak Canyon, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our relationship with our stockholders is an important part of our corporate governance program. Engaging with our stockholders helps us to understand how they view us, to set goals and expectations for our performance, and to identify emerging issues that may affect our strategies, corporate governance, compensation practices or other aspects of our operations. Our stockholder and investor outreach includes investor road shows, analyst meetings, and investor conferences and meetings. We also communicate with stockholders and other stakeholders through various media, including our annual report and SEC filings, proxy statement, news releases and our website. Our conference calls for quarterly earnings releases are open to all. These calls are available in real time and as archived webcasts on our website for a period of time. We also provide a question-and-answer session at our Annual Meeting.

The Board has adopted a process for stockholders and others to send communications to the Board or any director. All such communications should be sent by mail addressed to the Board or any particular director at 6001 Oak Canyon, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92618, c/o Angela Ahmad, General Counsel & Secretary. All appropriate communications received by Ms. Ahmad will be sent directly to the Board or to the particular director.

CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

Our Board of Directors has adopted a code of ethics and conduct that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our code of ethics and conduct is available in the Governance section of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.inarimedical.com. Information on or accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement. We intend to disclose future amendments to our code of ethics and conduct, or any waivers of such code, on our website or in public filings as required by applicable Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules.

For 2022, our director compensation program consisted of the following components:

Cash Compensation. During 2022, we paid an annual retainer to our non-employee directors of $50,000. We also paid an additional $48,000 retainer to the Chairman of the Board. Each non-employee director received additional retainers for service on the committees, as follows:

Equity Compensation. Our non-employee directors were also eligible to receive equity compensation during 2022 as described below.

Initial Grant. Upon appointment to the Board, a non-employee director who is initially elected or appointed to serve on the Board automatically shall be granted a restricted stock unit (RSU) award with a grant date value of approximately $240,000 on the date on which such director is appointed or elected to serve on the Board and which vests in substantially equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to such director’s continued service through the applicable vesting date.

Annual Grant. A non-employee director who is serving on the Board as of the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders each calendar year shall be granted, on such annual meeting date, RSUs with a grant date value of approximately $160,000, which shall vest in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the one-year anniversary of the applicable grant date and (ii) the date of the next annual meeting following the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service through the applicable vesting date.

The number of shares of our common stock subject to an initial grant or annual grant will be determined by dividing the grant date value of the initial grant or annual grant (as applicable) by the trailing 30-day average closing price for our common stock through and including the date prior to the applicable grant date.

Each such award will vest in full upon a change in control of our company (as defined in the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”)).

Compensation under our Director Compensation Program is subject to the annual limits on non-employee director compensation set forth in the 2020 Plan.

23

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation paid or awarded to each individual who served as a non-employee director at any time during 2022. All compensation paid to Mr. Hoffman, our former Chief Executive Officer, is reported below in the “Summary Compensation Table.” Mr. Hoffman did not receive additional compensation for his services as a director during 2022.

The audit committee has appointed BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and the Board is submitting this appointment to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. BDO has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since May 2019. Representatives of BDO plan to attend the Annual Meeting and will be available to answer appropriate questions from stockholders. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the appointment of BDO as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board is submitting the appointment of BDO to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee will reconsider whether to retain BDO. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE RATIFICATION OF BDO AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2023

25

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following is a summary of the fees and services provided by BDO to the Company for fiscal years 2022 and 2021:

The audit committee or the chair of the audit committee pre-approves the scope of the audit, audit-related and tax services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, as well as all associated fees and terms, pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee. The audit committee evaluates the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence, and presents its conclusions to the full Board on at least an annual basis.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

The audit committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements and the reporting process, including establishing and monitoring the system of internal financial controls. In this context, during fiscal year 2022, the audit committee met and held discussions with management and BDO, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Management has represented to the audit committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the audit committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Company with management of the Company and with BDO.

In addition, the audit committee has reviewed and discussed with BDO: (i) the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); and (ii) the written disclosures and the letter received from BDO required by applicable requirements of PCAOB regarding BDO’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and the independence of BDO from the Company and its management. Based on this review and discussion, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the audit committee of the Board of Directors as of February 27, 2023, the date as of which the 10-K was filed:

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, or NEOs, as disclosed in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as “say-on-pay” proposal, is not intended to address any specific item or compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Company’s NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.

The Compensation of the Company’s NEOs subject to this advisory vote is disclosed in this proxy statement under the Section entitled “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure contained in this proxy statement. As described in detail in these disclosures, the Company’s compensation philosophy is to maintain a straight-forward executive compensation program that fosters an ownership mentality by emphasizing the long-term equity compensation coupled with cash compensation in the form of a base salary and incentive cash program that meets current needs. Please read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the compensation tables that follow it for additional details about the Company’s executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal 2022 compensation of the Company’s NEOs.

Accordingly, the Board requests your advisory vote to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the narrative discussion that accompanies the compensation tables), is hereby APPROVED.”

This proposal to approve the compensation paid to our NEOs is an advisory vote only and will not be binding on us, the Board, or our compensation committee. However, the Board and the compensation committee value the opinions expressed by stockholders in their votes on this Proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. Our current policy is to provide our stockholders with an opportunity to approve the compensation of our NEOs each year at the annual meeting. It is expected that the next such vote will occur at the 2024 annual meeting.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis is intended to assist our stockholders in their efforts to understand our executive compensation program by providing an overview of our executive compensation-related policies, practices, and decisions for fiscal year 2022. It also explains how we determined the material elements of compensation for our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, and the executive officers (other than our principal executive officer and principal financial officer) who were our most highly-compensated executive officers in 2022, and whom we refer to as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs.” The following is a list of our NEOs during 2022:

In August 2022, we announced that Mr. Hoffman would retire from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer, and that Mr. Hykes would assume the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, effective December 31, 2022.

2022 Key Business Highlights

Patients first. No small plans. Take care of each other. These are the guiding principles that form the ethos of Inari Medical. We are committed to improving lives in extraordinary ways by creating innovative solutions for both unmet and underserved health needs. In addition to our purpose-built solutions, we leverage our capabilities in education, clinical research, and program development to improve patient outcomes. We are passionate about our mission to establish our treatments as the standard of care for venous thromboembolism and beyond. We are just getting started.

2022 was another exceptional year for our patients, employees, and company. We treated a record number of patients, and delivered substantial growth in revenue while continuing to make significant investments in our core products and new disease states.

Key financial and operating highlights for 2022 include the following:

2022 Executive Compensation Highlights

Consistent with our performance and compensation philosophy as detailed below, the Committee took the following key actions with respect to the total compensation of our NEOs for and during 2022:

32

Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

We endeavor to maintain sound executive compensation policies and practices, including compensation-related corporate governance standards, consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. During 2022, the following executive compensation policies and practices were in place, including both policies and practices we have implemented to drive performance and policies and practices that either prohibit or minimize behaviors that we do not believe serve our stockholders’ long-term interests:

Stockholder Advisory Votes on Named Executive Officer Compensation

Although we were not required to hold a Say-on-Pay vote in 2022 due to our 2020 initial public offering and emerging growth status in 2020, we determined that we wanted to give stockholders the opportunity to vote on our compensation practices. As a result, at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, we asked our stockholders to vote on a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs (commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote) and a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes (commonly known as a “Say-When-on-Pay” vote). Over 87% of stockholders voted for our Say-on-Pay proposal, and almost all stockholders voted for a one-year frequency of our Say-on-Pay vote.

33

PROCESS FOR DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION

Role of Compensation Committee

The Committee establishes our compensation philosophy and objectives, determines the structure, components and other elements of executive compensation, and reviews and approves the compensation of the NEOs or recommends it for approval by the Board. The Committee structures the executive compensation program to accomplish its articulated compensation objectives in light of the compensation philosophy described above.

Role of the Executive Officers

The Committee works with our CEO to set the target total direct compensation of each of our NEOs and other members of our executive team, other than with respect to his own compensation. As part of this process, our CEO evaluates each other NEO, determines his recommendations about the target compensation of each such NEO, and delivers his recommendations to the Committee. The Committee gives significant weight to the recommendations of the CEO in light of his greater familiarity with the day-to-day performance of his direct reports and the importance of incentive compensation in driving the performance of the business. Nevertheless, the Committee makes the ultimate determination regarding the compensation of the executive officers.

The Committee determines the compensation recommendation for our CEO and approved all of the compensation components for our CEO and other named executive officers.

Additionally, to design and develop the compensation program, the Committee coordinates and collaborates with the finance, legal, and human resources teams as appropriate. This group supports the Committee through the preparation of analyses of financial data, peer comparisons and other materials, and helps to implement the Committee’s decisions.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Committee recognizes that there is value in procuring independent, objective expertise and counsel in connection with fulfilling its duties and has the authority to retain an independent compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities and duties.

Through the first part of 2022, the Committee engaged Compensia as its independent compensation consultant. Compensia reported directly to the Committee, and the Committee had the sole authority to retain, terminate and obtain the advice of Compensia. Compensia assisted the Committee on all compensation decisions, provided a competitive market analysis of the base salary, annual cash incentive awards and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers compared to the compensation peer group for 2022, reported on share utilization, and reviewed other market practices and trends.

In April 2022 the Committee engaged a new compensation consultant, FW Cook, as its independent compensation consultant for compensation decisions. FW Cook reports directly to the Committee, and the Committee has the sole authority to retain, terminate and obtain the advice of FW Cook. The Committee worked with FW Cook to review and update our peer group, provide a competitive market analysis of the base salary, annual cash incentive awards and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers compared to the compensation peer group, report on share utilization, and review other market practices and trends to inform our 2023 compensation program.

While the Committee took into consideration the review and recommendations of Compensia and FW Cook when making decisions about our executive compensation program, ultimately, the Committee made its own independent decisions in determining our executive officers’ compensation.

34

Other than advising the Committee as described above, neither Compensia nor FW Cook provided any additional services to Inari in 2022.The Committee assessed the independence of each of Compensia and FW Cook, and each other adviser and outside legal counsel that provide advice to the Committee, pursuant to SEC and Nasdaq rules. In doing so, the Committee considered each of the factors set forth by the SEC and Nasdaq with respect to an adviser’s independence. The Committee determined that Compensia and FW Cook are independent within the meaning of the Committee’s charter and the Nasdaq rules, and the work of Compensia and FW Cook for the Committee has not raised any conflicts of interest.

Compensation Peer Group and Peer Selection Process

The Committee believes that obtaining relevant market and data is of paramount importance in the executive compensation determination. Such information provides helpful context and a reference point when making compensation decisions. The Committee also recognizes the unique aspects of Inari and our business that may ultimately drive compensation decisions that differ from our peers. The Committee takes into consideration the structure and components of, and the amounts paid under, the executive compensation programs of other comparable peer companies. This information is derived from public filings and other sources when making decisions about the structure and component mix of our executive compensation program.

The Committee uses a compensation peer group as a source of competitive market data for evaluating the compensation of our executive officers and to support pay decisions. The peer group is comprised of comparable medical device and life sciences tools and services companies. In selecting peers, the Committee also generally seeks to include companies with annual revenue up to approximately $800 million and market capitalization generally ranging from $1 billion to $16.5 billion. We added Penumbra, Inc., Abiomed, Inc., Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., and AngioDynamics, Inc. to the peer group and removed Repligen Corporation, Atrion Corporation, and Cerus Corporation from the peer group for 2022. The 16 companies included in our peer group for 2022 decisions related to our executive officer and director compensation programs were:

The Committee reviewed our peer group in August 2022 with the support of FW Cook to inform our 2023 compensation program. The Committee approved the removal of Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. and NanoString Technologies, Inc. and the addition of Artivion, Inc., LivaNova PLC and NovoCure Limited to focus on companies of similar size and scale and with similar business models while maintaining a robust sample. The Committee retained the other 14 companies above.

The peer group noted above as well as general survey data for the medical technology and life sciences industries were used to inform the Committee’s decisions relating to the 2022 base salary, target annual bonus, and equity grant values awarded to our executive officers (each as discussed further below). The Committee reviews the peer group periodically. We do not formally set total compensation, or any specific element of compensation, at a specific percentile of the market data for that position. Instead, the market data is used as a reference point to provide information on the range of competitive pay levels and current compensation practices in our industry.

35

Stockholder Engagement

Last year, we voluntarily held our first stockholder vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs and have determined, based on the vote of our stockholders, to continue to conduct the Say-on-Pay vote annually.

At our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, over 87% of the votes cast supported our Say-on-Pay vote. The Committee believes this high degree of stockholder support for our 2022 say-on-pay proposal affirms stockholders’ support of our executive compensation program. We remain committed to ongoing engagement with our investors on all appropriate matters, including executive compensation and governance. In 2022, we engaged with holders representing a significant percentage of our common stock on a regular basis, including on governance and social responsibility matters. The Committee considers stockholder input in evaluating the design of our executive compensation and the compensation decisions for each of the NEOs.

ELEMENTS OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

In order to achieve our objectives, the Committee utilizes the components of compensation set forth below. The Committee regularly reviews all components of the program in order to verify that each component is aligned with our strategy and ensure that each executive officer’s total compensation is consistent with our compensation philosophy.

The primary elements of our NEOs’ compensation and the main objectives of each are:

In addition, our NEOs are eligible to participate in our health and welfare programs and our 401(k) plan and ESPP on the same basis as our other employees. Each of these elements of compensation for fiscal 2022 is described further below.

Fiscal 2022 Target Pay Mix

By emphasizing annual and long-term incentives, our fiscal 2022 pay mix reflects our executive compensation objectives, advances our pay-for-performance philosophy, and aligns executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders.

The following graphics show the allocation of 2022 target total direct compensation payable to our CEO and the average 2022 target total direct compensation payable to our other NEOs. The Committee allocated compensation among base salary, target annual cash incentive amounts, and the grant date fair value of the long-term incentive in the form of RSUs.

36

A significant majority of 2022 target executive compensation opportunity is at-risk variable pay. This approach is consistent with our focus on pay-for-performance. We consider compensation to be “at-risk” if it is subject to operating performance or if its value depends on the value of our common stock. In fiscal 2022, 85% of our CEO’s target total direct compensation was at-risk compensation, and on average, 81% of the target total direct compensation of our other NEOs was at-risk.

Base Salaries

The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. The base salaries of our NEOs are an important part of their total compensation package. Base salary is a predetermined and fixed component of our compensation program. In February 2022, the Committee approved base salary increases for each of our NEOs in order to better align each executive’s total compensation with that of similarly situated executives at our publicly-traded peers.

The following table sets forth the base salaries of our named executive officers for fiscal 2022:

Annual Incentive Cash Compensation

During 2022, all of our employees at a manager level or higher, including our NEOs, were eligible to receive performance-based cash incentive compensation tied to achievement of specific financial and operational metrics approved by the Committee in early 2022. We believe that performance-based cash incentives motivate our employees, including our NEOs, to achieve both annual and long-term goals. This approach is critical to the execution of our overall business strategy which, if achieved, has the potential to significantly enhance shareholder value. We also believe that it is important to reward all contributions to success and, as such, we paid cash awards to all employees, even those who do not participate in the incentive compensation program, for 2022.

37

Target Opportunities. Consistent with our compensation philosophy and objectives, the Committee set the target incentive opportunity within the median range of annual cash incentive target pay for comparable executives at our peer groups. For 2022, based on a review of the market data, the Committee approved an increase to the NEOs’ target incentive opportunities (by 15% of salary for Messrs. Hoffman and Hykes and by 10% for Mr. Hill and Dr. Tu). The 2022 target incentive opportunity for each of our NEOs is as follows:

Performance Measures and Payout Determination. The Committee annually approves a cash bonus program with financial and operational performance goals. The Committee reviews the Company’s performance against the goals in determining the amount of the annual cash bonus for NEOs and for the bonus pool more generally, but the Committee maintains discretion over the amount of payout for any given year (with the ability to either increase or decrease the amount of cash bonus depending on the particular circumstances in any given year). For fiscal 2022, the amount of the payout was based upon the following achievement of financial and operational metrics established by the Committee, with payout at 109% of target for NEOs and no discretion applied to the NEO payout:

The following table summarizes the total 2022 cash compensation earned by our NEOs:

38

Long-Term Incentives

As described above, the third and largest primary component of our executive compensation program is long-term equity incentives. The Committee designed this long-term incentive opportunity to motivate executive officers to achieve multi-year strategic goals and to deliver sustained, long-term value to stockholders.

Our long-term incentives create a strong link between payouts and performance and align our executive officers’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. Long-term equity incentives promote retention, as executive officers will only receive value if they remain employed by us over the required term. In addition, they foster an ownership culture among our executive officers by making executive officers’ stockholders with a personal stake in the value they intend to create.

RSUs. In 2022, the Committee’s long-term incentive grants took the form of RSUs. Consistent with the market practice of similar, newly-public companies in our industry, and in order to focus executives on growth and increasing stockholder value at this early stage of our development, the Committee has designed its choice of equity vehicle to motivate stock price appreciation over the long term through RSUs.

Target Opportunities. The Committee established target long-term incentive opportunities for each of the named NEOs in February 2022.

The table below shows the intended values for the long-term incentives that were provided to our NEOs during fiscal 2022:

For 2023, as part of the Committee’s commitment to grow and evolve the executive compensation program, the Committee determined that 25% of long-term incentive grants should be in the form of stock options. The Committee believes that stock options further align the NEOs’ compensation to long-term growth of the Company and the interests of stockholders. In future years, the Committee expects to continue to evaluate and select a form and mix of long-term incentive compensation (which may include stock options, RSUs, performance shares, or other long-term incentives) that it believes best accomplishes the goals discussed above.

The Committee intends to make grants of long-term incentive awards annually. Special, one-time awards are used in limited circumstances, including, as may be necessary to attract, retain and motivate experienced and well-qualified executive officers, as recognition of an increase in the scope of an executive’s responsibilities or major accomplishments. No special awards were granted to our NEOs in 2022.

OTHER ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER ASPECTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Stock Ownership Guidelines

To align our executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders, we maintain stock ownership guidelines requiring that our Chief Executive Officer hold Inari shares with a value equal to three times (3x) his base salary and each other executive officer hold Inari shares with a value equal to one times (1x) their base salary. The Committee measures compliance with the guidelines as of the last business day of each calendar year based on the closing price of our common stock during the 30-trading day period through and including the last business day of the calendar year.

For purposes of determining compliance, the following shares are treated as owned: (i) shares of our common stock owned individually, either directly or indirectly; and (ii) shares of our common stock owned jointly or separately by a spouse, domestic partner and/or minor children. No other rights to acquire shares of our common stock (including unexercised stock options or unvested RSUs) are considered shares of our common stock owned for purposes of satisfying the ownership requirement.

Should an executive officer fail to comply with the applicable ownership requirement, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may review and address any such shortfall in ownership as it deems appropriate.

As of December 31, 2022, each of our executive officers, including our NEOs, met their respective ownership requirement.

Retirement Plans

We currently maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our NEOs, in accordance with our compensation policies. In 2022, we matched 100% of the first $3,000 or 4% of eligible employee contributions to the 401(k) plan, which matching contributions vest immediately.

Employee Benefits and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

All of our full-time employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including (a) medical, dental and vision benefits; (b) medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts; (c) long-term disability insurance; and (d) life insurance. In addition, all of our full-time employees can elect to participate in our employee stock purchase program.

No Tax Gross-Ups

We do not make gross-up payments to cover our NEOs’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or perquisites paid or provided by our company.

Severance and Other Benefits Payable Upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements and/or equity award agreements, each of our NEOs is entitled to certain payments and benefits in certain termination situations or upon a change in control. See “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control” for more information on these payments and benefits.

Accounting Considerations

ASC Topic 718 requires us to calculate the grant date “fair value” of our stock-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires us to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based compensation awards. Grants of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and performance units under our equity incentive award plans will be accounted for under ASC Topic 718. The Committee will regularly consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align the accounting expense of our equity awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees from engaging in hedging transactions; short sales; transactions puts, calls and other derivatives securities or instruments designed to increase in value as a result of, or hedge or offset any decrease in, the market value of the our securities, day trading and arbitrage trading and purchases of securities on margin. In limited circumstances and subject to pre-approval, pledging of securities and contributing company securities in exchange for interests in private exchange traded funds for diversification purposes may be permitted.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with the management of the Company. Based on this review and these discussions, we have recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s 2023 Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Employment Agreements for Executive Officers

In 2020, we entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs, the material terms of which are described below. In addition, as a condition of employment each of our NEOs has also entered into our standard confidential information and invention assignment agreement. In February 2023, we amended and restated the employment agreement with Mr. Hykes to reflect his new role of President and Chief Executive Officer.

William Hoffman

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Hoffman served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and reported directly to the Company’s Board of Directors. His agreement provided for an initial term ending on the fifth anniversary of its effective date, with an automatic one-year renewal thereafter.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Hoffman was entitled to receive an initial annual base salary subject to increase at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors or a subcommittee thereof; in addition, he was eligible to receive an annual performance bonus target of his then-current annual base salary. The actual amount of any such bonus will be determined by reference to the attainment of applicable Company and/or individual performance objectives, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a subcommittee thereof. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Hoffman was also eligible to participate in customary health, welfare and fringe benefit plans, provided by the Company to its employees.

For a discussion of the payments and other benefits to which Mr. Hoffman is entitled in the event of certain qualifying terminations, including certain terminations in connection with a change in control of us, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” below.

Mitchell Hill, Andrew Hykes and Thomas Tu, M.D.

The initial employment agreements for Messrs. Hill and Hykes and Dr. Tu contain the same terms and conditions as Mr. Hoffman’s agreement, except:

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

William Hoffman

In May 2020, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Hoffman. Pursuant to his employment agreement, if Mr. Hoffman’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause,” or by Mr. Hoffman for “good reason” (each, as defined in the employment agreement, and referred to herein as a qualifying termination) then Mr. Hoffman will be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits: (i) an amount equal to Mr. Hoffman’s annual base salary then in effect; and (ii) continued healthcare coverage for 12 months after the termination date.

However, if either such termination of employment occurs three months prior to, on, or within 12 months following a “change in control” (as defined in the 2020 Plan), then Mr. Hoffman instead will be entitled to receive: (i) an amount equal to two times Mr. Hoffman’s annual base salary then in effect; (ii) continued healthcare coverage for 24 months after the termination date; (iii) Mr. Hoffman’s target annual bonus, prorated based on the date of termination; and (iv) full accelerated vesting of all outstanding and unvested time-based vesting awards.

The severance payments and benefits described above are subject to Mr. Hoffman’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and continued compliance with customary restrictive covenants. The employment agreement also includes a “best pay” provision under Section 280G of the Code, pursuant to which any “parachute payments” that become payable to Mr. Hoffman will either be paid in full or reduced so that such payments are not subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever results in the better after-tax treatment to Mr. Hoffman.

Mr. Hoffman resigned from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer effective December 31, 2022 and received no further payment under the terms of his agreement. Mr. Hykes became our President and Chief Executive Officer immediately upon the effectiveness of Mr. Hoffman’s resignation. In February 2023, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Hykes with the same terms as described above for Mr. Hoffman.

Mitchell Hill, Andrew Hykes and Thomas Tu, M.D.

In March 2020, May 2020 and September 2020, we entered into initial employment agreements with Mr. Hill, Mr. Hykes and Dr. Tu, respectively. The employment agreements for Messrs. Hill and Hykes and

45

Dr. Tu contain the same termination-related terms and conditions as Mr. Hoffman’s agreement, except that if the executive experiences a qualifying termination of employment, his severance will be: (i) an amount equal to 0.75 times his annual base salary then in effect; and (ii) continued healthcare coverage for nine months after the termination date. However, if such termination of employment occurs three months prior to, on, or within 12 months following a “change in control” (as defined in the 2020 Plan), the executive instead will be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits: (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times his annual base salary then in effect; (ii) continued healthcare coverage for 18 months after the termination date; (iii) the executive’s target annual bonus, prorated based on the date of termination; and (iv) full accelerated vesting of all outstanding and unvested time-based vesting awards. As noted above, potential payments upon termination or change in control for Mr. Hykes differ beginning with calendar 2023 pursuant to the terms of his amended and restated employment agreement.

Summary of Potential Payments

The following table summarizes the payments and other benefits that would be provided to our NEOs upon the occurrence of certain qualifying terminations of employment and/or a change in control, in any case, occurring on December 31, 2022. Amounts shown do not include (i) accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, or (ii) other benefits earned or accrued by the NEO during his employment that are available to all salaried employees, such as accrued vacation, and assume that any successor company in a change in control assumed or substituted awards for any outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan and 2020 Plan.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

As a result of the rules the SEC adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402 (u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following disclosure about the ratio of the total annual compensation of our Chief Executive Officer during fiscal 2022, Mr. Hoffman, compared to the total annual compensation of the median compensated employee within our worldwide workforce.

For 2022, the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (excluding our CEO) was $163,160; (ii) the annual total compensation for our CEO was $4,866,193; and (iii) the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (excluding our CEO) for 2022 is 30:1. We believe this ratio, which was calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, to be a reasonable estimate, based upon the assumptions described below.

Calculation Methodology

We identified the employee with compensation at the median of the compensation of all of our employees (median employee) by considering our employee population as of December 31, 2022 (employee population determination date) as summarized below. The methodology we used to determine the median employee for 2022 is described below.

For 2022, we considered all individuals who were employed by us on a world-wide basis (including our consolidated subsidiaries) on the employee population determination date, other than our CEO, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary basis, as applicable. We did not include any contractors or other non-employee workers in our employee population.

To identify our median employee, we chose to use a consistently-applied compensation measure, which we selected as base salary for 2022. For employees paid other than in U.S. dollars, we converted their compensation to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022. For all full-time and part-time employees hired during 2022, we annualized their base salary or wages as if they had been employed for the entire measurement period. Base salaries for temporary and seasonal employees hired during 2022 were not annualized. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustment.

Our employee population as of our determination date consisted of approximately 1,100 individuals in the United States and in our international locations (including our consolidated subsidiaries) who were employed by us on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis, including employees on a leave of absence.

Using this methodology, we identified the individual at the median of our employee population. We then calculated the annual total compensation for this individual using the same methodology we use to calculate the amount reported for our CEO in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table as set forth in this Proxy Statement.
